Just finished my first day at Stanford Chemistry 🧪🦠🧫🥰🤪😗

Congratulations David Macmillan MacMillan Group and Ben List! A cause to celebrate pure organic chemistry and two extraordinary chemists 🎉🥂



Great catching up with our Sarafan ChEM-H CBI students at our holiday party, such a talented group of scientists, the future of translational chemical biology is bright!

Congratulations Laura Keller 🥳😇🤩

So excited to finally be sharing this story!! Thank you to the many collaborators (including taylor nguyen in KC Huang's lab, the teams of Anthony O'Donoghue, Micah Niphakis and Ami Bhatt, and my mentor Markus Lakemeyer) for helping me and Matthew Bogyo bring this story to life!

Meet Mekedlawit Setegne, a Chemistry PhD student developing cutting-edge therapeutics for sickle cell disease 🧪 "Being able to be in community with scientists that constantly push the envelope makes me a better scientist and excited for what we can contribute to the world."

Happy to announce that we won Best Poster at the 1st annual QBI Bay Area Chemical Biology Symposium. So proud to represent Fangfang Shen , @lmkdassama, Liting, Lisha Ou , nano-girl 👩🏽🔬, and I's work on targeted delivery and degradation of "undruggable" proteins in SCD!

189 Chemistry Nobel Laureates & Carolyn Bertozzi is the 8th female & 1st openly queer person to receive it! I feel honored that I got to express what this means to our communities & that REPRESENTATION DOES MATTER! 🏳️🌈🙌🏾 #NobelPrize2022 Sarafan ChEM-H Stanford University 🎥Lynette Haberman

Impactful words by Carolyn Bertozzi today on how diversity in her trainees enabled creativity, not playing by the rules, and ultimately the work that built the field of bioorthogonal chemistry. Diverse science leads to better science!

My first academic home was Pasadena City College & I am always excited to be back! The PasadenaCityCollege to Caltech Chemistry & Chemical Engineering pathway is real! 🤩

Happy to know PasadenaCityCollege is going to receive well deserved support. Excited to see what’s to come! #proudalum :,)

My first co-first author paper! Thank you to @lmkdassama and Liting zhai for all the support and discussion. I will also be presenting this work at #ACSFall2023 @ACS_DivBioChem graduate student symposium. Stop by at room 209, south bldg. at 11:30 August 14th if you’re interested.



On October 24th, Mekedlawit Setegne, Ph.D. Candidate in the Chemistry Department (Dassama lab) was recognized and celebrated at the Faculty Club for receiving the 2023 DARE fellowship. Congrats on this remarkable accomplishment and for being a valued member of the Chemistry community
